Susan and Cissy had the wonderful opportunity to talk with Dr. Todd Savage about school safety and crisis prevention as well as gender diversity.  Dr. Savage is a psychologist and professor who speaks nationally on these topics as well as culturally responsive practice and LGBTQ+ matters in education.  The statistics he shares about suicide should serve as a wake up call to us all.  He advocates for training for all adults in schools to help with this issue.  He also talks about the need for peers to understand how to help a friend or classmate that they may know who is contemplating suicide.  This is just half of the conversation.  Stay for the question.  Thanks for listening.  Be sure to check back next week for the second half of this conversation.
